Today’s Jumble haiku:
(Time to wash burlap wigs—the ones made of goose feathers, according to a special recipe. They’re made so well, they leave dandruff behind whenever there’s a pause to drain the basin. Our verse occurs during a …)
“Bath-a-Lull”
Goose-feather burlaps
plunk down dandruff. So shaggy
they are laughable…

Some adventurers are wild and woolly.

Teddy Roosevelt of the Bullmoose party
Used his bloody pulpit like a smarty!
Changing minds
To match his lines!
But voters didn't deem him worthy.

"Laughable Pet"
The farmer loved his goose
until the day she got loose.
He got a shabby blanket to plunk.
with a leash, in the back of his trunk.
The blanket was made of burlap,
useful the goose to wrap.
But sadly he couldn't find his goose,
but returning home gave him a truce.
The goose had come back home,
and he fenced her in, so
she would never again roam.
I believe geese can be pretty ornery, Misty, but they tend to stick around if they can count on being fed. Your farmer seems to have got his hands on one with a wanderlust.
I hope it was worth the price of a fence!
Owen ~ I started to write a verse on TR myself, but couldn't make the rhymes work the way I wanted.
I don't think the voters turned against him so much as there just weren't enough for both Taft & himself.
Wilson was ever thankful to the both of 'em. With a soupรงon of gratitude for 'Gene Debs...

Ol' Man Keith, your goose feathers were used for blankets it sounds like--very pleasant haiku. And sorry I couldn't come up with a response to your verse. I don't imagine the guys "bully," do they?
Owen, enjoyed your verse even though my politics of that period aren't focused enough to remember what the voters thought about Roosevelt. But hope he still had a good presidency.
Wilbur and CanadianEh!, we missed you both today. Hope you'll be back tomorrow.
CEh! , you're at a disadvantage, since you might not know of TR's "bully pulpit".
